GMA Network: Maria Clara at Ibarra

I'm so proud to have done my part for a well-loved and warmly received teleserye that is now trending at the top spot on Netflix in the country. What may have been an otherwise boring text book retelling has become a remarkable phenomenon in Philippine television. What with the rich storytelling, the attention to detail with the sets and costume and stellar portrayals, it's no wonder that Maria Clara at Ibarra became such a hit!

Puregold: EJ Obiena

When you get to meet and work with a record-breaking pole vaulter like EJ Obiena, you can't help but bring your A game to the photo shoot. I always mange to come prepared the past decade but photographing the Olympian and seeing how passionate and determined he is at his sport reignited that fire and reminded me of my own purpose. Not only did his dedication rub off on me but his humility and sincerity as well. Such a nice guy! Go EJ Obiena! Go Philippines! Production Credits Client: Puregold Agency: Re:Public

Botanika

As the city tightens up, space is indeed becoming a new luxury. New living spaces have been sprawling up outwards of Metro Manila just to have a glimpse of greenery in the mornings. We had this amazing opportunity to work on this project to show how space can change the way to experience our lives. We don't need to cram ourselves within Metro Manila if we can.

The Clash 2020

This local singing competition by the GMA Network is going strong on it's third season! This also marks my third year of photographing the same vibrant personalities but this time under extraordinary and interesting circumstances. You know for sure what I'm talking about. This shoot has only become possible because the all important Covid19 swab tests have now become de rigeur. As the economy slowly reopens, stringent measures have been set in place by various industries, ours included, if some normalcy is to be restored. For these photo shoots to push through, online meetings via Zoom as well as mandatory…

Union Bank Online Content

We've been getting a lot of online content projects as of late and our clients prioritize their presence in social media. We've also felt a demand for a look that is more organic and less polished increasing relatability of viewers to posts. This is important since we live in a world where there is more inclusion and diversity. Here's a photo shoot that brought us all around Quezon City and Ortigas.

PROMAMA Philippines

The ability of a model to conjure just the right kind of emotion with her face and body as the photographer captures those decisive moments is part of the 'magic' of photography. There's a dynamic here that may or may not result in the best images. Working with a model (professional or not) is most rewarding when she doesn't hold back, when she's not afraid to look silly, when she infects everyone on set with her energy and when she gives more then what is asked with her - this is a portrait photographer's dream. When this happens, the photographer…

Vino Kulafu

Initially a comic book back in the 70s, Kulafu lives on as drink for the hard working men in the fields. We paid homage to its comic book roots by re-creating its iconic character as a poster. https://youtu.be/SwB6DBqg4kE Production Credits Client: Ginebra San MiguelAgency: ASPAC-DANPhotography: Jay Tablante

BPI x Netflix

We certainly had fun shooting this, well at least for me (Jay Tablante). Anything when I can mix in some form of cosplay in an actual campaign is just pure joy. How did my dog make her way into the ad? Rather spur of the moment. Since one of the shots was based on "The Crown" (the reign of Queen Elizabeth), one can safely allude she liked dogs. Well, corgis for that matter. Lo and behold, our lovely Yuna fit the bill. https://youtu.be/OssD4tKPlbo Production Credits Client: Bank of the Philippine IslandsAgency: Mullen LowePhotography: Jay Tablante
